Grilled Pork Tenderloin Tips
How long do you grill pork loin per pound?
Most pork tenderloins are around 1 to 1-1/2 pounds and take about 15 minutes to cook. This recipe calls for two tenderloins, which means the cooking time will be anywhere from 20 to 35 minutes. Use a
meat thermometer to test for doneness—the meat’s internal temperature should be 145° when fully cooked.
What is the difference between a pork loin and a pork tenderloin?
The loin refers to a large portion of back meat that can be sold in a large, flat slab. The tenderloin is a small, tender, cylindrical portion within the loin. (Try more

How do you keep pork loin from drying out?
Keep in mind that for pork, pink does not mean raw, so avoid the impulse to overcook it. Once the meat’s internal temperature hits 145°, you can stop cooking. Using
marinades and sauces can also help keep your pork loin tender.

My husband and I enjoy grilled pork tenderloin and have tried numerous recipes. In our opinion, this one is definitely the best!
This has become a favorite for grilling season. The marinade is wonderfully tasty. I followed the recipe as written, and we loved the flavor. The cayenne pepper did not make it spicy at all, so in the future we may increase that to 1/2 tsp since my family enjoy a little zip. The honey and brown sugar made the meat caramelize beautifully on the outside, which is a taste and texture we really like. I doubled this recipe, and made enough for a family picnic and it turned out great.
Made this last night and everyone loved it. Will add to my company favorites list . So easy and soo good!
This is going to become a family favorite. Delicious! Thunderstorms interfered with our grilling so we cooked it in the crock pot. Even my picky eater husband like it.
Amazing!!! Loved that the ingredients are those that you have on hand. Couldn't get any simpler a recipe. We grill all year, this is a definite keeper in the rotation. I very rarely cook pork anymore because it usually lacks flavor, dries out during cooking. But this recipe has so much flavor, the meat is so moist. Thank You, Betsy!
Absolutely fantastic! I messed up on the tablespoon and teaspoon on a couple items but made no difference at all! I only added 1 tbs of brown sugar because with all that honey and teriyaki sauce it does not need anymore sweetness at all!

Wow...the flavor! Not hot and the cinnamon was not overpowering, just complimenting.
